COMMUNITY SERVICE

Within these programs we select Thai / hill-tribe schools, Kindergartens and local community organizations and assist in practical terms by aiding with the funding, repair and refurbishment of classrooms, provision of sports facilities or renovation of community areas and buildings

FUNDING

All basic costs for interaction projects are included within the trip costs, the projects take a practical, quantifiable form. Supervision is by qualified Adventure guides with additional construction experience. Some programs may require additional funds for the purchase of construction materials.

Students wish to raise funds for soft support ( books, study items etc) can do so and then this can be arranged directly with the project school. WP staff are happy to liaise and translate prior to the visit.

GROUP SIZE, DURATION & PROGRAM INTEGRATION

The challenge we face is being able to provide a meaningful interaction between the students and community, often over a short period of time with large groups of students. So we apply the same model that we use for our adventure programs, namely splitting down into smaller functional groups to complete tasks contributing to the whole.

WILD PLANET: PRO RATA

All preparation work and follow up work on any outreach programs is provided gratis by Wild Planet and we are happy to foster continued ties with with the communities in question by assisting on further visits or direction of additional funds raised. Any additional funding for the outreach programs supplied by schools is transparently accounted separately from program fees.
